Cynic - How Could I? (Live Wacken Open Air 2008)

[black3rn3ll]

Holy cow... these are true musicians

[159thehollow]

ohh fuck, the guitar¡¡¡ what kind of ilusion is this?

[vukstanovcic]

great show. why aren't there more Cynic footages from Wacken?

[ChainsawVsGod]

Tymons growls are sick.

[UnderUrBlackWing]

Flawless...

[Hurttiarska]

How Could I, song end, is just perfect, guitar solo and Sean Reinhart drumming, bring such unique feelings.There is no other band like Cynic, they are unique.

[Hurttiarska]

djfkd

[MetalMikeCass]

No admiration is too much for what Cynic has done for Progressive music in general.

[maidenslayer]

Everyone should also listen to Gordian Knot. I have both their albums. Excellent side project of Cynic.

[Miguelboz]

Still my favourite song from them. Hearing Focus and Human helps me endure the adulthood duties...

[novembre8211]

Paul Masvidal is a badass

[rob825]

Paul: "lol I'm just gonna sit here on the edge of the stage and be the most badass motherfucker here!"

[ATEESHTIWARI]

Beheaded guitars O.o

[Charliedethklok7]

I HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS BAND BEFORE! WHERE THE FUCK HAVE I BEEN? SHIT!

[Megadedly]

@Charliedethklok7 Noob land.

[NBrambilla95]

@Charliedethklok7 No problem my friend, just get the "Focus" full-lenght record and "Traced In Air" just after it. They will take some listenigs for their total appreciation, so get all the time you need to understand and enjoy this masterpiecese. Then I suggest you to give a listen to their miscellaneous stuff: the two EP, Re-traced and (the newest) Carbon Based Anatomy, just amazing, and maybe some early demos if you reaslly want to enjoy them totally. \m/

[NBrambilla95]

@Charliedethklok7 And remember that the main members Masvidal (guitars) and Reinert (drums) played with Chuck Schuldiner and Steve DiGiorgio on "Human", by Death, awesome masterpiece, it could be a little "preview" of Cynic sound :D

[FranLesPaul]

I love it how Paul just sits there at 4:14

[Nachtmahr]

paul is the only one who doesn't look like a complete metalhead. i like that.

[DangerousDrummerDado]

Tymon really nailed the ending solo. Awesome!

[theartofshred]

paul masdival is so stoned

[Megadedly]

@theartofshred No.

[MetalHagstrom]

Cynic, Atheist and Death. That's music

[estevaocma]

@666TheEvilGoat666 where can I get the entire show?

[lukerr87]

I'm in shock watching this, the brilliance of the musicians is just jaw dropping, the drummer has become one of my favourites after watching this video. Screw Mike Portnoy, this is the man.

[pepepito3000]

@lukerr87 I´m glad that someone say it. I also think the same.

[Idey1994]

@lukerr87

I don't know why, but I've never really liked Portnoy anyway...

[WeeboShepard]

they came to my town and I was so fucking pissed it was a 19 plus show

[67aacosta]

one of my fav songs

[DarienMusicJunkie]

Fuck camera man, he wasn't filming Tymon in this amazing solo.!!!!

[ohnenamen22]

A friend of mine told me they would spot new beats by plaing darts.

score of the one player

______________________ = beat

score of the other player

[unable]

i heard they can shit gold and heal aids

[MIGUELBO]

So close to the Focus 1993 sound. Waited 15 years to hear from them again. Love this song, my favourite from them.

[myrkul777]

Have to say thumbs up to the 666TheEvilGoat666 - the audio is fantastic!

[MrSeemby]

Paul does the third eye Namaste at the end

[MrSeemby]

What kind of effect is that on Tymon's solo? Some guitar synth?

[pupsalex]

wooooooooooooooow!!!!!!!

[Polyrthyawhut]

Love how pauls just chilling on the edge of the stage like a giddy little kid

[DoubleEdgedSword12]

Paul Masdival is a scary lot like John Mclaughlin

[TheMorfiend]

That was tight as a nun's ass. When I see them next month, they'd better sound that good again.

[mkhedart0mt0avari]

@TheMorfiend Went to see them a few days ago. They're still at the top of their game, but in my personal opinion their latest releases...well, they're not bad, but it's not the Cynic that I've always loved, which is Focus-era Cynic. Their new releases are great, but they're moving away from the realm of metal, a move I'm not a fan of.

[SpartanLaserCanon]

WTF why u no show Cynic's bassist?

[skinnedjonathan]

@SpartanLaserCanon.....is time for drummers.. cred. now bud, we never get shit.

[OnTheBlocksMedia]

Man it is almost like Paul is in a different band up there so relaxed and calm. It is awesome and man the other guy on guitar here is terrific, the ending solo is finally played great and the gruff vocals are perfect.

[glacier2win]

Fucking amazing performance and band. I saw these guys last Thursday at The Note and they put on one hell of a performance there too.

[kilik2049]

Freakin' I'll finally see them tomorrow ! I cannot wait, this like one of my favorite band ever !

[richnaerz]

I really need to see these guys live...Also, anyone know what effect Tymon was using in the second half of his solo?

[PumpersAndTumblers]

Paul Masvidal is the Enrique Iglesias of metal

[igotwoodhaha]

Anyone else think Obscura's new album sounds like it has some Cynic influence on it? Especially from this song...

[nnnnnnnnnh]

@igotwoodhaha im seeing them both tomromw night in ny cant fuckign wait

[punisher11292]

As amazing as this song is, that is some weak headbanging.

[Kentsuruki]

Dat drummers face at 0:00

[mkhedart0mt0avari]

@Kentsuruki ....did you just refer to Sean Reinert as 'dat drummer'?

[Kentsuruki]

@mkhedart0mt0avari Haha yeah ;)

DAT DRUMMER

But actually i meant to say he has such a awesome 'smirk' going on there :D



[vukstanovcic]

are there more footages from this show? seems it was amazing all the way!

[IAmThey0]

Sean Reinert, one of my favourite all-time drummers, and Paul Masvidal, one of my favourite all-time guitarists. Can't get much better if you put the two together unless you toss in Tony Choy on bass.

[vukstanovcic]

@IAmThey0 tony choy over zielhorst or malone, or kringel? wtf?

[Herskere]

nerd metal

[MrMrFreddy]

Who's the bassist? He's cool :D

[cdhgamer]

@MrMrFreddy That'd be Robin Zielhorst

[MrMrFreddy]

@cdhgamer Thanks ;)

[licksers]

fucking amazing live band!

[WarwickBlood777]

God i mean how would you feel to be one of the dudes in Cynic. Oh my fucking lord before i die. Id be able to say i revolutionized an entire genre of music. Everyone should Atleast like Cynic. there just plain creative. Even if you dont like Real harsh metal or the heavier parts of cynic theyve got enough just sweet sound effects and atmospheres to appeal to everyone. Anyone Agree with me?

[nnnnnnnnnh]

@WarwickBlood777 hell yeah

[max4202006]

@WarwickBlood777 agree with you 100 percent

[cheramiejoubert]

@WarwickBlood777

Totally. Seeing them live after 15 years of waiting that was just awesome too. Cynic is my 3 month old daughter's favorite music. She liked it in-uetero as well.

[skanka4646]

@WarwickBlood777 What genre of music did they revolutionize?

[YungusCH]

@skanka4646 hmmm let' see.... progressive metal maybe?

[skanka4646]

@YungusCH Are you not sure or are you being sarcastic? (sarcasm doesn't really work when typed does it) A band cannot revolutionize a genre with less than 2 hours of music, especially not a genre that fluctuates as much from band to band as progressive metal.

[YungusCH]

@skanka4646 I AM sure.. they even revolutionized the genre with Focus.. you don't need 35 albums to revolutionize just saying...

[skanka4646]

@YungusCH Nobody has 35 albums. Cynics influence on progressive metal is undeniable, bands have even named themselves after their tracks, but these bands bare almost no resemblance to Cynic. People may have loved Focus but it didn't change progressive metal.

[Megadedly]

@WarwickBlood777 No I do not, if you can't appreciate or enjoy everything about them, it is not right and a bit of a shame to be skipping parts of them you don't like.

[mladenc]

At the end of the song these are best guitar solos I have managed to hear in more than 20 years of listening to guitar based music. WORSHIP!!!

[GALLERIEVONDADA]

THE FRIENDLY DEATH METAL VON NEBENAN...VON MIR AUS....

ABER STYLE SUCKS

[notrealy180217]

in 4:20-the end what is that synth lead? i thought it was a second guitar solo with heavy midi effects. id really like to know because cynic uses some weird effects

[PiNkMyRaiN]

fucking technical death metal god.. cynic!!!

[Platifiy]

Woah! Woah! Hold on! Bring Me The Fucking Horzion!

[LastCare16]

what the fuck?! this band is all, but NOT Death Metal, or something like that, they are gay in my opinion..

[TheHeraldic]

@LastCare16 Dude, stfu... Death metal has no boundaries... people like you turned it into this never changing iteration of blastbeats... this is death metal. At least they try to do new things

[AxisOfHumanity]

@LastCare16 you just dont get it. you just dont understand cynic man.

[Daeljern]

Ahh, Cynic!.. So great! This track and CD/LP is a masterpiece..!! Heard it sometimes since 93 now..hehe. but it still grows!:)

[digitalmadnes]

Are this guys from outter space or what the hell!?

[thrashmetalz666]

One of the coolest group of musicians out there, easily can tell they love their music and enjoy it every second theyre up there, especially at the end where Paul is one the edge of the stage with the biggest smile on his face.

[KadaverGrinder]

oooh Man

better huppy up to download it and convert to mp3

[hsyndgn89]

What a drummer, jesus..

[SoapyTaco]

New Album is coming out in a year or 2 I think. Can't wait to see how they've evolved even more from Traced in Air. Heard there wasn't gonna be any growls on the new album, so I'm kinda mixed on that.

[K3VIN552]

@SoapyTaco New EP coming out in 2 months** And who knows if there will be metal vocals on it..who knows what the hell it will sound like..its Cynic..but Im almost 100% positive it will fucking kick ass

[socialgarbage2]

The sound quality on this is incredible! Are there any more from this show with this sound quality?

[13METALAS]

Masterpiece

[ambie1636]

i tried to start a pit there and was told by security if i didnt calm down id be asked to leave. but wacken was pretty cool.more mellow than i expected

[ShittyMcPoopyBalls]

Teegarden>Tymon, but it's alright, since Tymon is one badass guitarist, I just like the dynamics of Teegarden. Tymon's vox sound cheated and monotonous.

[animaprocess]

0:58 lolwut

[fwfwfw]

HOW COULD 7 people dislike this?

[TheMysticWombat]

@skimam

I'm not American, this comment was from 5 months ago, and I agree with you.

[Audiodaemon]

this is so great compared to all those boring 1 speed pseudo grind death metal bands.

[jaylasen1]

Haha i was there ...

[Toxeensynth]

JUST PERFECT!!!INCREDIBLE....

[clipsryan]

So refreshing you don't want it to end.

[Jerkoffkid]

kewl kenny

[razorslice17]

Is Jesus on the drums?

[kernspalter]

@razorslice17 Naaah, it's just god..

[KreuhmanO]

@razorslice17 No, it's God himself.

[klaslagerqvist]

The bassist's headbangs is too epic for me!!!!

[findemundo]

No sabia que enrique iglesias tocaba en este grupo...jajaja

[Pseudopathaso]

I smiled bigger than shit when I saw Paul just sitting and chilling at the end solo. XD

Cynic is such a good band, both musically and ideologically!

[InnocentExile182]

his guitar is pretty much the only steinberger model i dont despise

[Havers666]

fuckin love that solo, these guys are just plain special

[MrSeemby]

How can Tymon be in the crowd while he's on stage?

[qnannbro]

BEST!

[XxBFMV24xX]

sounds really weird

[JackCarver10]

@XxBFMV24xX True, but I guess even someone calling himself XxBFMV24xX on Youtube might like it. I have faith in your music taste.

[XxBFMV24xX]

@JackCarver10 yea i have XxBFMV24xX as my name but im really into heavy metal i should have put it pantera

[XxBFMV24xX]

ugly ass guitars and they look so gay up that high

[ThatMuzakGuy]

@XxBFMV24xX their fusion guitars. i can see why someone wouldnt like the look of it, but take it from me, they feel amazing when you play them, like butter.

[MrSeemby]

@ThatMuzakGuy I couldn't care if it looked like I was playing a guitar hero controller if it felt that good.

[XxBFMV24xX]

@suprjnt420 Dragon force is so gay

[risethelightning]

@XxBFMV24xX douchebag, if you play that technical you cant have your guitar lap low, your arms would expload after every set, and besides everyone has there own set up, and its not how "pretty" the guitars look, it's what comes out of those amplifiers chaneled through the guitar players body, open your mind for fuck's sake

[XxBFMV24xX]

@risethelightning listen you fuckin stupid faggot bitch im entitled to my own opinion and i dont like when the guitar is that high so shut the fuck up and open your fuckin mind that everyones opinion is not like yours

[bassistfromhell94]

@XxBFMV24xX Actually you need to open your mind and shut your goddamn mouth. Because you're the asshole shoving your idea down our throats because you don't like the fact that a band plays their guitars a certain way? And yeah everyone has their opinion, but YOU'RE the one being raging cock when someone has one that's different than yours..

[XxBFMV24xX]

@bassistfromhell94 how am i shoving my "idea" down your throats and who are you refering to when you say "our throats" i didnt say it to anyone in specific fuckin dumb asshole you just are a little sensative bitch and didnt like that i didnt have the same opinion you had, @ThatMuzakGuy didnt take my comment the wrong way and told me about the guitars and accepted my opinion because everyone has there own you fuckin shit

[pupsalex]

@XxBFMV24xX Then why you listning dicksweat? you must know how cynic sound? i guess you have that high bitchvoice and thats why you dont like the guitars high sounding.

[XxBFMV24xX]

@pupsalex if you must know why i was listening to cynic because Paul Masvidal was in the band called death with chuck schuldiner in 1989, 1991–1992, and i wanted to check out his band you nosey faggot, so now you must feel like a stupid fuck and your comment of bitch voice and guitars sounding high makes no sense fuckin faggot

[pupsalex]

@XxBFMV24xX My mate played with chuck you scabby mouthed shitty ass son of a whore,he now plays in a band called M INC,now go jerk off in your basement you worthless fucking fake,i hate cynic guitars,oh but im watching and listning to how could i,what a fucking waste of space you are.

[XxBFMV24xX]

@pupsalex i only was listening to this song to check out paul masvidals band you fuckin faggot so stop sucking my dick you faggot and i thought the band would have been good since he played with chuck in death but this band sucks like you mother that ugly fuckin whore

[pupsalex]

@XxBFMV24xX very mature,im sure you stinking mother is very proud of you.This band are fucking fantastic,your just to slow to appreciate them,to unintelligent,to stuck in your ways,try having an open mind shitty ass.

[XxBFMV24xX]

@pupsalex oh shut up i have my own opinion so i need to open my mind you are so stupid just accept it that everyones opinion is not the same fuckin dumb fuck

[pupsalex]

@XxBFMV24xX I do,but you put your opinion across poorly shitty ass,go find a bridge,shit in your hands,rub it all over yourself,and jump,you now have a a human dropping of shite.

[pupsalex]

@XxBFMV24xX shitty ass

[XxBFMV24xX]

@pupsalex fucking ignorant fuck

[XxBFMV24xX]

@pupsalex faggot ass

[MikePostDrums]

@pupsalex @XxBFMV24xX Are you guys serious?

Shut up and listen to the song.

[CompanyMold]

Sean Reinert is the man

[SamcoreThrasher]

People who boo Cynic would feel so true, but they are disrespectin' a band which gave musicians to the truest bands as DEATH. Fuck that shit.

[yuet25cc8]

i love the headless guitars!

[healord51]

double bass marathin zomg

[RimochR]

The headbanger in the crowd realy looks like Tymon

[richnaerz]

Tymons solo=My life made <3

[Flyfar420]

Lol I didn't see the word live in the Title so i read "How could I wacken open air" 

[WeeboShepard]

@Flyfar420 lol

[Fac117]

Sucks Tymon left, he was a great growler and nailed all the solos

[sebkw96]

lol check the weird drumming kid out at 00:58

[Dieterbe]

@sebkw96 he does another great (though somewhat more subtle) performance at 3:57

[Sk8Nature]

That solo wass soo fucking Orgasmic

[jfkdjfd]

It's funny, because you see Paul standing, and then, you see him sitting down, moving his legs, and smiling, and moving his head. That's just funny to me.

[Nosferatu197]

Fucking amazig. Cannibal Corpse sucks

[WeeboShepard]

@Nosferatu197 i gotta disagree with you

[Nosferatu197]

@WeeboShepard New Cannibal Corpse pop-metal

[WeeboShepard]

@Nosferatu197 still gotta disagree with you on that one, but I respect your opinion.

[sebkw96]

5 people are completely senile

[Soilwar]

I feel like I just had sex.

[RimochR]

probably the best song ever.

[VinceVonVicious]

Think of the guy who sings the clean vocals as the voice of reason. It might help.

[WeeboShepard]

@VinceVonVicious Dude Tymon's vocals are WAY BETTER

[KddRbbt]

@WeeboShepard tis not about being better tis about the vibe and atmosphere

[KillJoy353]

@VinceVonVicious Paul Masdival? He's the man!

[richnaerz]

This band is just so fucking good :') Fucking love them!

ALL HAIL CYNIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CrispyFresh95]

how can you guys stand the vocalist

[BondOfAshes]

At 1:43 Reinert is like "I'M A FUCKING GOD!!!! \m/"

[BondOfAshes]

@BondOfAshes 1:41 ;P

[jsteele07189]

kid in the blue shirt at 1:21 just failed at counting the music! Go Cynic!

[WeeboShepard]

is it just me or does tymon do better growls

[ConceptEvolved]

@WeeboShepard Better than who?

[WeeboShepard]

@ConceptEvolved better than Tony Teegarden (but tony has a more epic name)

[rengoloko]

0:00 One more time!

[JoolsGuitar]

so fucking tight

[80smetalchild]

god i just love the ending of this song. and to make things even better paul is just chillin sitting on the edge of the stage :) what a band, love these guys so so much.

[WeeboShepard]

@80smetalchild i know it's so awesome
